I'm happy that I purchased this bra. It's very stylish and supportive for running. My one complaint would be that the cups are very thin so if you're wearing the bra with a tight top you will get nipple show through. As for sizing, I'd say that the cups are true to size but the band is on the tight side. I usually am in between a 32 and 34 and in this bra I wear the 34 band on the loosest hook.

Cup size/shape fits great, very natural. I was looking for a bra I felt comfortable wearing now that I am back to work in a professional setting. This works great, looks good under clothes but easy to pump/nurse while wearing it!

I'm a bigger busted girl, 32J, so good strapless bras are really tough to come by. I was hesitant to buy one at all, to be honest. This one is actually really great though. I can wear it for several hours and not have to yank it back in to place, it stays put where it should be. The fit is true to size and it doesn't add any extra cup sizes when I don't need them. My only complaint is that after a few hours my ribs do tend to feel a little sore, but it's a minor inconvenience I'm willing to have for a bra that actually does it's job.

I thought I was a 34D for a long time before a proper fitting at a department store about 10 years ago "diagnosed" me with a 32DD. I bought 2 "minimizers" as a result of that visit, yet found the Freya Rio online. I like it so much better than a minimizer, because it does not push the breasts off the torso and -without padding!- guides them into a natural and supported shape. Bare Necessities always has this in stock, and I am so glad it is offered in a nude color too after a hiatus. I can buy dresses in my real size and less often have to buy a size up and tailor the waist and hips.

It's that supportive. Improves my posture (at least around the house ).
I have heavy and very sensitive breast tissue.( 32DDD) If a bra does not provide optimal support, my breasts actually ache painfully.
I returned the Chantelle. For some reason, Freya bras and a few Moving Comfort bras, a Panache bra, are about the only bras I can wear.
I love the contained and slightly pointy contour they provide. A little retro. Madonna would love this bra. It's very smooth feeling, also.

The prob with halter suits is there is usually a ton of fabric making your chest look way bigger (and flatter). This is a great suit that doesnt do that, but suggest ordering a size larger as the top was small on me in my normal size.

This swimsuit is cute, but I would consider it a full coverage suit. The top is supportive, and covers EVERYTHING. I'm petite, so I found this suit a little overwhelming. Still, it's cute, and great for walking around the beach or pool bar area.

I love a good leopard print and this fits the bill! The padded half cup shape gives a little extra boost then other bras. I recommend staying with the same size cup you would normally wear. It is a perfect summer bra! (Maybe for some concerts or a night out!)

I'm a size 14 that wears between a 34H and a 36FF. I got the 36 and might need to go down in band size. I will warn you, the suit is very chesty! The plunge shows a bit of my ribcage under the round of the bottom of my boobs, but I'm okay with that. There isn't a lot of support, due to the deep cut on the suit, so I will be relying on my straps a lot to keep things up. I'm hoping that by exchanging to a 34 band, this will help a bit. I bought the skirted bottoms to go with it and they provide cute coverage, but I don't feel like an old lady. The texture of the suit hides a lot of stuff for us bigger ladies, so that alone makes it a good choice!

This is a great top for support without the padding. I could have used a smaller size but I was in a rush to leave for vacation. I also could probably tie the straps a little tighter to push up the top a bit more to avoid pancake boob.

This top is very supportive and stays up on its own(even without the removable straps). At 7 months pregnant I had a very difficult time finding a top to support my 32FF chest. This bandini top is not only supportive but comfortable as well. It does not dig into your sides as other underwire tops tend to do. I love Freya and love this top!

I wear a 30H, a size that is normally EXTREMELY hard to find and even harder to find- and fit correctly. I bought this top in a 30H and it fits amazingly well!!! I feel great in it and would absolutely buy something of the same brand soon.

I love this bra! Just got it a few days ago and I have already worn it 3 times. Very comfortable, very pretty, and light weight for the summer. I will be ordering the other color and maybe a second white one.

I've always had issues finding bathing suits that fit well and have good support, aND it got worse once I got pregnant. I went from a 32DDD to a 32I. This bathing suit top is actually comfortable, with great support. And it makes it look like I don't have gigantic boobs! Love it. I just wish I had more money so I could buy more!
